Artelium is located in the heart of Sussex near to Ditchling, a village with a heritage of arts and crafts. The brand and logo playfully references the art of typography, woodcarving and sculpture, celebrating craftsmanship with a distinctly modern twist. The journey to creating the name started with ‘Atelier’, another name for an artists studio or workshop. However after much consideration and several variations they settled on creating their own word… ARTELIUM
Cabaret Noir (aka Cabernet Noir) is a hybrid variety originating from Switzerland, a red grape well suited to cooler climates. Fruit from a single parcel was crushed and destemmed into the press where it fermented on skins, before pressing into French and American oak barrels for ageing.
Dark plum and blackberry fruit is complemented by cocoa and cedar notes from the barrel age on the nose. Medium-bodied, with a nice plushness to the tannin and a long smooth finish. A fine pairing for game, sausages, mushrooms or hard cheeses.
